Don't worry about the egos on the boat - I'll get in the water quickly.
Ha ha, JT, that is not an issue with us , we know we are the best.

 This is a blast diving Palm Beach. You guys will love it. The last time
we did it, I think we only had one short conversation about some piece
of rigging, and most of the gear and "how to" talk came after we were
back having dinner, other than the obvious up front game plan.

 We don't argue aobut this stuff when we are all trying to learn
something, and if we dive togehter, we are the best pals in the world .
I take this shit seriously ,and that is the only way to really ralax and
enjoy it. You'll see.
